| This directory is the copy of Google's pprof shipped as part of the Go distribution. |
| The bulk of the code is vendored from github.com/google/pprof and is in |
| ../vendor/github.com/google/pprof. |
| |
| Two important notes: |
| |
| 1. Using github.com/google/pprof directly (for example, after installing |
| with "go get") should work with Go programs, but we cannot guarantee that. |
| What we test is that the "go tool pprof" shipped with each Go release works |
| with programs from that release. |
| |
| 2. Pprof is used inside Google for C++, Java, and Go programs. |
| Because it was developed for that broader context, it is overgeneralized |
| when used here for the specific use case of profiling standard Go programs. |
| However, we've left the abstractions intact in order to share updates |
| between our vendored copy and Google's internal one. |
| Please do not take the level of abstraction in this program as an example |
| to follow in your own. |
